Here are more photos of the mountains I saw as I traveled through Kootenay National Park in British Columbia from south to north.
The mountain above is one of the ones I CAN identify. It is Stanley Peak, 10,351 feet tall, which is home to the Stanley Glacier:
Shortly after passing the Stanley Glacier I would go through Vermilion Pass and cross the Continental Divide. That signifies the northern end of Kootenay National Park as I would cross into the northern portion of Banff National Park and, in doing so, cross into the Alberta Province.
The mountain in the distance (below) is Castle Mountain, which is 9,075 feet tall and is on the opposite side of the Trans Canada Highway (Hwy 1). It is several miles away, and is very imposing as you drive past it on the TCH.
